I remember installing it on my work machine, and our IT Crowd demanded that I remove it. They didn’t like that it exposed all their sneakware.

- lxgr 2y agoArguably you’re the one installing sneakware on your employer’s machine. Work machines and personal software/data and vice versa don’t mix well in many jobs.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoThis is true. I didn’t argue with them, but kept using it on my personal kit. I think it’s less useful, these days, as Apple is really battening down their I/O hatches. I know that Charles Proxy can miss stuff.
- lxgr 2y ago> I know that Charles Proxy can miss stuff. It would miss anything not using macOS high-level HTTP or socket APIs, right? If you're concerned about apps surreptitiously phoning home, I wouldn't count on them using those, or otherwise respecting the system proxy settings.
